Maybe inevitably, this movie doesn't quite know where to go after the initial premise, but Kind is watchable as the self-pitying and pathetic Felix.

Even with the short running time, writer-director Matt Kane and cowriter Marc Underhill exhaust most of their ideas early. But Kind is touching throughout, as a man who just needs to feel wanted.

A captivating tale is to be had, yet you want to see the one that fully exposes the deepest darkest depths of this alternate reality.

This is quite a smart, little independent film... It's sad, touching, and provocative.

I know how it feels to be alone when you finally get retired and somebody that you love so much has no time to spend with you because of a busy job.

This was basically the movie HER with a less weird individual at the helm . This was sci fi but we’re at the point in society where these glasses seem like they are only a few years away . Only thing I didn’t necessarily like was it seemed kind of forced as to how they made him seem so alone . Getting forced to retire, his daughter instantly moves out and his wife instantly accepts a job that makes her never around and just exhausted when she is . It made the story flow but I think they could have done a better job at this particular chain of reactions to get him to the point you could see exactly how he would resort to the glasses 3.2. The actress who played Auggie though wow was she the perfect choice . It was an interesting scene when his wife saw her coworker . The ending when his daughters friend walked in was interesting

This is the worst movie I have ever seen. I almost died out of boredom. The ending is so stupid. Save yourself the time and money watch something else.

Very slow pace, suitable for critics. Overall it's just virtual reality vs reality. Not bad watch except I believe masturbating to porn is NOT cheating against marriage. This movie is a propaganda film so if you are ok with it, it's great.
